- To the same pan add onions, garlic and soften for 5 minutes, add bacon season well then cook for a further 5 minutes (add a drop of water here if needed in the pan).
- Add the carrots to the pan and mixed herbs a dash of water and then mushrooms, cook off for 5 minutes and then add the stock and ale to the pan and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Add 1 tsp mustard stir in and then place the lid on top of the pan and cook on low for 2 hours.
